Losing Casspi resulted in gaining JJ and giving Salmons more minutes Salmons. Worst trade ever

 

[Prime13]

Oh Joy....Travis Outlaw and Chuck "I cant jump over a credit card" Hayes

 

[annihilator_33]

what the hell kind of lineup is this?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[rainmaker]

completely disagree... i saw him drive a few times and miss wild shots, pick up an offensive foul, dish it off once or twice, and shoot an outside jumper. with only about 8 mins in the quarter. His problem is that he isn't converting because they are stupid offensive decisions.

I saw two poor decisions, the charge and a wild layup. he was looking and did set up Cousins/Thornton/Salmons a number of times.

Reke looks much better when attacking the paint in half court sets, and not just swinging it around the perimeter as he commonly does in the first half of games.

 

[The_Jamal]

Put the god damn starters in!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Let's be honest, we suck. WHAT THE **** are these rotation?? is everyone going to play? Jeez someone please I beg of you take over for the kings. We are going to be down 20+ at halftime. Just watch..

 

[gunks]

Just tuning in..Out of curiosity, has Thornton been on Lin?



...Cause **** is gonna get ugly if thats the case.

 

[xrzn]

WTF kinda defense was that Reke?

 

[BMiller52]

I think Smart hates Jimmer lol. And I can't believe we've put Travis Outlaw and JJ out there. Ugh.

 

[Fear the Putin]

outlaw?

 

[nebs]

We definitely lost in the Hickson trade.

Casspi for Hickson imo was a wash, but the fact that we gave up an effin first rounder for this trash is ridiculous.

We gave up a 1st rounder?? Is it protected though?

 

[gunks]

John Salmons has played the most minutes so far. WTF?

The only answer can be that they don't want to bench him and completely kill his trade value but is this really better?

I feel like GP sat smart down and said "Look man, I F'd up this summer. So pick one of the two deadweights I signed at the 3, and bench him...But the other plays, or else I look like an idiot. Also, hens oodle."

Oh Joy....Travis Outlaw and Chuck "I cant jump over a credit card" Hayes

Yeah, I know Chuck is getting over the injury but he looks awful out there. Still can't believe we looked at him as our big compliment to Cousins. And Outlaw is just ehh.

Really, you'd be hard pressed to find a team with a worse off-season performance.

Extened Westphal
Drafted Jimmer, Honeycut and Thomas
Signed Outlaw
Signed Hayes
Traded Beno for Salmons
Traded Casspi and a pick for Hickson
Resigned Thornton
Let Dalembert go

That's awful. Especially with a team with decently high draft position, tons of cap space and a big already in place that was working.

 

[annihilator_33]

reke is just settling for fadeaway jumpers...

Don't forget trading Casspi and a protected 1st for Hickson

Seriously, all you needed to do was Keep Beno, keep same draft pick and take Brandon Knight or Klay Thompson and then resign Dalembert, less wouldve been a lot more

 

[Kings Faithful]

Its ****ing embarrassing that Bibby is defending outlaw like its nothing.

 

[rainmaker]

reke is just settling for fadeaway jumpers...

Part of it is the paint is clogged due to NY not having to guard either of Hayes or Outlaw.

 

[Sac.Kings]

I can't believe as a coach you can't correct a problem like this. This stupid fadeaway without any passing stuff with 6'6" centers out there is a recipe for success only if you want to be in the lottery forever. There are literally no excuses left. What has outlaw done to play?

 

[rainmaker]

Why did Smart draw up a play for Outlaw right out of a timeout?

 

[sdballer]

Don't forget trading Casspi and a protected 1st for Hickson

Casspi sucks too and the first is pretty heavily protected. I don't love the trade but it would be hard to argue against the thinking.

 

[Tyndel]

Bibby on Chuck....

 

[annihilator_33]

that's true

 

[Prime13]

Get it to 6 somehow by half, and then play the starters subout Greene for Salmons, and hope the starters can go 20 mins each

 

[Mad D]

Cuz, dunk the damn ball

 

[Kings Faithful]

1 step forward and 2 steps back...

 

[rainmaker]

Not much of a foul but a bad reach. Just can't do that.

 

[cuad]

turning the shock collar to maximum strength.

 

[Prime13]

GIVE HIM THE DOG SHOCK COLLAR.......He swipes down at the ball like a clueless idi every single time!

 

[jcwkings]

our defense is pathetic
